Parc Taulí concludes a new edition of the Bring It innovation program

• For the first time, all the health innovation projects that have participated in the program have been created and presented by staff at Parc Taulí
• PHIRFAV, a project of the Parc Taulí Nephrology Service to implement artificial intelligence in the monitoring of arteriovenous fistula, has been the winner

The Parc Taulí celebrated this Tuesday the closing ceremony of Bring It, the incubation program it organizes the Parc Taulí Research and Innovation Institute (I3PT), with funding from the platform ITEMS, to encourage and support innovation projects in health and biomedicine.

This fourth edition has been distinguished for being the first in the that all the health innovation projects that have participated have been created and presented by staff at Parc Taulí. During three months, nine proposals promoted by different services have passed the phases of the program - detection of the unmet need and development of the idea - to end up being presented to the public and a jury made up of professionals from prominent institutions in the technology and medical research.

"The number of projects has been increasing little by little with each edition. And not only that; we are also very happy to have had 100% adherence for the first time. All the teams that started in October with an idea presented their project today", said Eduard Soler, head of the Innovation Unit of the I3PT.

"We had been working on innovation in dialysis for a long time, but it was Bring It that it has allowed us to demonstrate that if we have an idea and believe in it, we can materialize it", he pointed out ibeas. "Products like this program are what help professionals who are not usually aware of how innovation works to believe that their project can generate value for the community."

One of the keys to the success of the program is the implementation of the Boston CIMIT methodology, through which projects are evaluated from four key domains: clinical, market and business, regulatory and technological. In this way, they can move forward in a faster, more orderly and efficient way.

"Bring It is a very useful accompanying tool to be able to carry forward innovative ideas. It provides the essential training and resources to researchers to ensure that some of the projects can end up reaching patients, using a recognized methodology", he explained Julia Haro, Manager of innovation projects at the I3PT.

The success of the day highlights the Institute's commitment to innovation and the desire to continue promoting the transfer of knowledge to the market to promote the well-being of society through programs such as Bring It.
